Abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell sentenced to life in prison without parole

The Philadelphia abortion doctor (pictured) was sentenced Wednesday to a third life term for killing an aborted baby that he described as so big it could "walk to the bus."

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said, “ Any doctor who cuts into the necks severing the spinal cords of living, breathing babies, who would survive with proper medical attention, is a murderer and a monster."

Gosnell was also sentenced to 2 1/2 to five years in prison for the 2009 overdose death of a patient. The sentences are consecutive, meaning Gosnell, 72, will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Abortion doctor Kermit Gosnel found guilty of murder

Guilty

Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnel (pictured above) was found guilty Monday of murdering three babies born alive in his abortion clinic.

Gosnel was acquitted in the fourth baby's death, and found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the overdose death of an adult patient.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was convicted of first-degree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who authorities say were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his grimy clinic, in a case that became a flashpoint in the nation's debate over abortion.

Gosnell was cleared in the death of a fourth baby, who prosecutors say let out a soft whimper before he snipped its neck.

Former clinic employees testified that Gosnell routinely performed illegal late-term abortions past Pennsylvania's 24-week limit, that he delivered babies who were still moving, whimpering or breathing, and that he and his assistants "snipped" the newborns' spines.

Obama orders top aides to praise Obamacare during commencement speeches

It’s not a good sign when a president feels the need to order his aids to praise his signature legislation.

From a Washington Examiner report:

President Obama has ordered his Cabinet officials to praise ObamaCare when giving speeches at college commencement ceremonies, even as the president’s aides fear that poor implementation of the law will tarnish his legacy.

There is little doubt that the monstrous 2,000+ page bill forced through on Christmas eve known as ObamaCare will be a blot Mr. Obama’s legacy and a horrific burden on Americans for years to come if not changed drastically .

Obama’s team fears what young people will do what the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the individual mandate could not: cripple the law by refusing to participate in the health insurance exchanges.

Here is the specific problem: Insurance companies worry that young people, especially young men, already think they are invincible, and they are bewildered about the health-care reform in general and exchanges in particular.

They may tune out, forego purchasing health insurance and opt to pay a penalty instead when their taxes come due.

The consequence would be a disproportionate number of older and sicker people purchasing insurance, which will raise insurance premiums and, in turn, discourage more people from enrolling. This reluctance to enroll would damage a key aspect of “health care reform” (ObamaCare).

The 40-year-old question - is antibacterial soap safe?

After 40 years federal health regulators are just now deciding whether triclosan — the germ-killing ingredient found in an estimated 75 percent of antibacterial liquid soaps and body washes sold in the U.S. — is ineffective, or worse, harmful.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is planning to deliver a review this year of whether triclosan is safe.

The ruling, which will determine whether triclosan continues to be used in household cleaners, could have implications for a $1 billion industry that includes hundreds of antibacterial products from toothpaste to toys.

Serious ObamaCare blunders are big Democrat 2014 election fears

The report at the link below says that anxious Democrats fear that a botched implementation of ObamaCare could dash their hopes of controlling the House and Senate for President Obama’s last two years in office.

Even the president admitted to “glitches and bumps” in the law’s rollout. Some congressional Democrats fear much worse.

One Democrat legislator said the White House has focused on implementation with the assumption that consumers will come to understand the law with time.

“I have a different view,” he said, acknowledging a “significant disconnect” in the public’s understanding of the Affordable Care Act.

ObamaCare helped Republicans gain control of the House in 2010, and the GOP is hoping the law will bolster its chances of wresting the Senate from Democratic control in 2014.

To win back the House, Democrats must pick up 17 seats. That will be all but impossible if the implementation of ObamaCare is rocky.

Harry Reid: Need more money to keep ObamaCare from becoming 'train wreck'

Democrat Senate majority leader Harry Reid warned that people will not be able to choose health insurance plans on government health exchanges if federal authorities lack the resources to set them up and educate the public.

One of the architect’s of ObamaCare, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, has already warned that ObamaCare is going to be a train wreck if not implemented properly.

“Here’s what we have now, we have the menu but we don’t have any way to get to the menu,” Reid said.

What Reid is actually saying is that ObamaCare is already a train wreck.

It appears that no matter how much money they throw at ObamaCare it will remain a train wreck.

Democrats are deserting the ObamaCare trainwreck

This is a wretched bill.

Only Democrats supported it and none of them read it.

They passed it in the dead of night by an unscrupulous procedure that was never intended for use to pass such far reaching legislation.

Everything about it reeked of fraud and abuse of power.

Now 0bama, Reid, Pelosi, and all the other liberals own this horrid bill that will ruin healthcare for all American, and this bill will bankrupt our already debt ridden country.

Abortion doctor says pro-lifers with video cameras are ‘terrorists’

Cesare Santangelo is the Washington, D.C. abortion doctor who told a pro-life activist that he wouldn’t help a baby born alive as a result of a failed abortion.

The conversation with Dr. Cesare Santangelo is shown in the undercover video above taken by a 24-year-old pregnant woman asking about his abortion procedures.

Later Dr. Santangelo described the undercover filming as “terrorism.”

He is killing babies, many of whom are actually born alive, and yet he calls s 24-year-old pregnant woman with a camera a terrorist!
